  This was an absolutely fantastic recipe which was so easy to make. Since I don't like almonds I added in some unsalted cashew nuts instead. This is one that I'll definitely be making again.

  Very tasty but couldn't understand why there wasn't any garlic - I added two cloves which gave it a bit more flavour

  Very tasty, we had run out of curry paste and couldn't find any at the local co-op so we had to use a bit a curry sauce instead a little stogy but lovely.

  Very tastey, had run out of the curry paste so had to use some of this special sauce so it was a bit stogy but very nice.

  Nice. Left out the coriander, otherwise exactly as recipe. Even my three fussy girls (5, 3 and 2 1/2) ate it!

  Very good I'd tried the peanuts too (as I didn't have almonds) and I left the rasins which I never like in Indian dishes.

  Lovely midweek supper as all the ingredients except the coriander were in my larder. However, I used easy cook basmati which probably needed slightly less stock. I also used two stock cubes and this made the finished dish slightly salty so will use one in future. I threw in a handful of frozen peas to add colour as I had no coriander to hand. Will certainly make this again.

  When you order this from a take away, you get an accompanying vegetable curry sauce, which is really yummy! No recipe seems to tell you how this is made? If anyone is in the know, I would love the recipe please ;)

  For a really authenic traditional taste add a couple of half boiled eggs. Cut them into halves and serve on top of the biryani. Tastes fab and it's tradionally how it should be served.
